I chose Westminster for a lot of reasons. First of all, they made me feel extremely wanted considering they stuffed my mailbox almost weekly during my junior/senior years. Secondly, it's only two and half hours away from home and family, which is very important to me. Thirdly, when I finally had the chance to visit, I saw how beautiful the campus is. Finally, talking to the science advisors reinforced that Westminster cares and want to help you on your journey, not only in colege, but in life.

I wanted to be a peer advisor mainly because I wanted to ensure that I could make as many people feel the way I felt walking into Westminster. I wanted to help clear up as many questions as I could and I wanted to make people fee welcome as they started their college journey.

One piece of advice . . .I wish someone had informed me more about how much out of class time is needed for pre-med students. However, it worked out fine because I love volunteering.

I loved the enviornment at Westminster College. I have grown up near the campus and decided I should try it out. Once I looked into Westminster I really appreciated the one on one contact from all of the staff and faculty. I love the community and it was a perfect fit!

I have a passion of working with people and I have always loved science. Nursing was such as good option and the program at Westminster College is excellent!

I am very people oriented and I love meeting and building relationships. I wanted to be a Peer Advisor becuase I really enjoy being helpful. to others and have others find comfort knowing I am able to assist them.

One piece of advice . . . Get involved and find your place. Get out of your comfort zone and take in every moment.

I transferred to Westminster College after attending school in Washington state for two quarters. Westminster's small class sizes and proximity to home was exactly what I was looking for in a college, I only wish I had started here sooner! When I graduated high school, I intended to go into philosophy, but before I made an official commitment I did some major major exploration. I went from phlosophy to communication to sociology to education and English and then back to philosophy. Philosophy is what I love and am passionate about -- I think that's a good reason to declare a major. That being said, it's always fun to explore other options.

I wanted to be a peer advisor to help students reach their academic goals and navigate the course catalog. I also love helping people and being a peer advisor seemed like a good way to do that..

One piece of advice. . .

Very few people know what they want to do for the rest of their lives in college -- those who say otherwise are either very luck or they're lying. It's OKAY to not know!.

My parents have been professors at Westminster my whole life, so I’ve known ever since I was a kid that this is where I want to go to college. I love the atmosphere here, and the kind of teachers and students it attracts.

I chose philosophy simply because it’s what I enjoy doing. I strongly believe in following your passion when choosing a major.

One piece of advice. . .

Choose your major based on what YOU like to do. If you’re not sure what you like, or if you’re like me and you like a little of everything, keep exploring different classes and fields until you find what it is that makes you the happiest.

I went to an open house at Westminster in the fall of my senior year of high school. I loved the beautiful campus and the small community. I’m a biology major because I’ve always liked learning about anything science related. When I was about 17 I figured out what I wanted to do with my life- become a physician! By studying biology, I’m preparing myself for the MCAT and ultimately med school. Westminster has become my home, and I’m excited for the opportunity to spend the next three years of my life here.
